Appointments that keep being cancelled, it may be that you are elderly, it may be that youve got an Ongoing Health problem but its going to cause disruption, anxiety. It is more shocking is that in some cases the patient talks about they were only told the night before because the letter was delivered by taxi. Isnt that ridiculous . Especially when you been waiting that long. Some people have been waiting since 2014. They have not how the hospital by ben s in five years. Thats appalling. Whatever you are going on for, youre going to be worried about it and youre going to want to see a doctor. And these people havent. And it is rather appalling that if it takes a newspaper through freedom of information to get this information out, a lot of these trusts doing to resolve the issue . Some of them have said that the statistics may have included patients who offered an earlier appointment. People who were given a booking of several appointments. But nevertheless it is quite scandalous. We have to leave it there, many thanks, always peppered district a lwa ys thanks, always peppered district always a pleasure going through the papers. They keep watching and dont forget the papers as their online at the bbc news website, next, it is the bbc news website, next, it is the film review. Hello and welcome to the film review on bbc news. To take us through this weeks cinema releases is mark kermode. So, mark, what do we have this week . We have a proper mixed bag. We have crawl, which promises to do for alligators whatjaws did for sharks. Pain and glory, the Award Winning film from Pedro Almodovar. And angel has fallen Gerard Butler is back. Right, some alligators to start with. We have had alligators in films like, i believe, lake placid . And there have been others. Alligator, eaten alive. I think technically lake placid was a giant crocodile. As i mentioned, film tries to do for alligators in films what was done injaws for sharks. The story is a swimmer from the university of florida goes back home and she finds out herfather is in his house in a hurricane zone and she cannot get in touch with him and she goes to the house to go and check that he is all right. When she gets there, everything is flooded and wouldnt you know it, there are huge alligators in the water. Here is a clip. Come on siren blares. Watch out whimpering. That is no ordinary flood, is it . No, but you can see the jaws iness to it, or elements of it. Theres another one called bait, putting sharks in a supermarket. This basically does what it says on the tin. This film cost around 13 million, has already taken 65 million. Its a perfectly efficient, exploitive b movie creature feature in which it works partly because it has decent performances and you like the characters. The father Daughter Relationship works well because partly there are no surprises, but that includes there is no surprising mistakes. Sometimes you can see the edge of production in the film a little bit, but it is done well. There are a few laugh out loud lines. The director Alexandre Aja knows how to put this stuff together. There are a few laugh out loud funny lines in it, like, we are not going to be out smarted by these pea brained reptiles which reminds me of a line from snakes on a plane, but it does exactly what it sets out to do. It is a straightforward unpretentious monster rampage movie. And it understands the parameters of what it can do, it is all set at the house, there is a basement, he does all the set up you can do and it does it all in a kind of snappy efficiency. Snappy, good. It will not win Pulitzer Prizes or oscars, but it does exactly what it sets out to do. I looked at the cast list earlier and suspected that not all the people on the list survive, without wanting to spoil the ending. I would not spoil anything. Pedro almodovar you mentioned a moment ago and pain and glory. I thought this was terrific. I have i am a huge fan. This is a very personal semi autobiography. A filmmaker played by Antonio Banderas, racked with pain, both physical and metaphysical. He is in a moment of stasis in his life. There is a revival of a film he made 30 years ago with an actor he has not spoken to for 30 years, which forces them to get back together again. And whilst the present day plot is moving forward, he is cast back to memories of his childhood, memories of his mother washing clothes in a stream, memories of a time they lived in a cave dwelling. Memories of first going to the cinema and seeing movies projected against whitewashed walls. So the whole film sort of ebbs and flows with the tide. Its beautifully done, its very, very personal. There is a great performance by Penelope Cruz as the younger embodiment of the characters mother. Antonio banderas, ive never seen be quite so vulnerable. His face is this kind of mask of melancholia and regret and yet the childhood reminiscences are so vivid, so vibrant, these two things are living side by side. On the one hand, the ecstasy of his childhood memories. Funnily enough, they are different film makers. There is a comparison here between the work of Pedro Almodovar and terrence davis. Terrence with his memories of the cinema and his mother singing. Clearly a very personal movie. Not perfectly autobiographical. There are hints . There are hints of it. What he has done is he has taken the real story in fictionalised it and just taken elements. But there are some things you can see are absolutely personal, particularly the portrayal of the figure of his mother. But i thought was terrific and i think Antonio Banderas should be up for an oscar nomination for his performance. Thats definitely a commendation. Ok, onto angel has fallen. Where are you with the series . It was only earlier when somebody said the trilogy of the has fallen. Olympus has fallen, which was the not good version of white house down. I hated london has fallen in which theres a line, most of londons known landmarks which were destroyed. Well, what about the unknown landmarks . In this, Gerard Butler is back and he is framed for an attack on the president s life. Heres the clip. What is that . Are they bats . Distant ringing. Ringing approaches. Highpitched buzzing. Theyre drones, theyre drones on radio art come with me, sir get him under the ballistic hard cover, keep him down. Im on my way all yelling. Delta team engage, engage they scream. I didnt think that would end well. Here is the thing. I know this sounds like damning with faint praise. But i think this is the best of the has fallen series. For a number of reasons, because firstly again in much of the way of crawl, it understands its sensibility. Gerard butler was brilliant in vanishing, it has gotjust the right register here. A great performance by danny huston who is chewing absolutely the scenery. Halfway through, nick nolte turns up as Gerard Butlers dad. And he is doing that nick nolte thing where, i am a vietnam veteran living off the grid, and i really enjoyed it. I didnt expect i was going to at all because i hated london has fallen. I went into this, thinking, are we getting more of the same . And i notice from the basic critical reviews have not been well received. But in the screening i was in, the minute nick nolte turned up, it became about the father and son thing, people started laughing, enjoying it and that laughter continued right the way through the end credits. Actually, of all the has fallen ones, this is the best. That is slightly damning with faint praise. No, i saw a lot of praise for nick nolte. He is great. He has almost become a caricature of nick nolte, there are whole lines of dialogue that are. Mumbles incoherently. And Gerard Butler says, you always say that right, moving on from your nick nolte impersonations. Lets talk about the best one out at the moment. Blinded by the light. Are you a Bruce Springsteen fan . Iam. I am not. I have nothing against him. This is based on a memoir of the scriptwriter. And it is a story about a young man who connects with the music of Bruce Springsteen despite the fact that his life has nothing to do with Bruce Springsteens life. Its directed by gurinder chadha, who made bend it like beckham. It bursts into song like sunshine on leith did. So it is almost like a musical. I thought it was charming. You can pick holes in it if you want to, but i thought it was really charming and it moved me and made me laugh, it made me cry. I just love the idea that music is universal. Somebody on the other side of the atlantic living a completely different life from you can write songs that mean so much to you in this particular in the world you live in. And even if you are not a Bruce Springsteen fan. Nothing against him. Born to run. Lets talk about the best dvd. Wild rose which is this lovely film about a glaswegian single mum who is a country western singer and dreams of going to nashville. Titanic central performance byjesse buckley. Shes recorded a country album, she is fantastic. It has its feet on the ground but its head in the stars. Again, it understands how music can transport you from one place to another. Gritty and realistic, but also romantic in his romantic view of the world. The idea that you can dream large in such a Great Central performance. I thought it was really good. Her singing voice is outstanding. Yeah, she can really sing and i did an onstage interview with her and i asked if she would mind singing a song and she did and i said, fine, you are the real deal she can make it but she can also act. I thought it was a really lovely film. Good stuff. Thank you, mark. Thats it for this week, though. Thanks for watching. Goodbye. Hello, good evening, it has been another sunny and hot day across modes part of the uk. And that is going to continue. Into tomorrow, but some subtle changes, had some areas of cloud, mist and merc that played to some western parts of the uk. In that cloud mist and fog will become more extensive the early hours of monday. It could be quite murky indeed across pots of wales, up murky indeed across pots of wales, up into south west of them, otherwise clear skies and we start monday with temperatures between 12 and 16 degrees. Tomorrow a bank hold over most of us but if you are travelling early through wales, the midlands, north west litigant, sapper scotland, for visibility and mist and fog could cause one or two headaches. The challenge the west, otherwise a lot of sunshine through the day, still very warm if not hot across eastern parts, 30 two, 30 three degrees. A bit cooler for the north and the rest of the country. That sets the theme, really for the middle part of the week, we will see things and unsettled from the west, the thunder stomp it averages from all of us will begin to dip away.
